Who serves Gulshan-Iqbal
All electricity supply, metering and billing in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi is operated by K-Electric Limited under the IBC Gulshan integrated business centre. Walk-in disputes, sanctioned-load applications and title transfers are handled at Block 7, Main University Road, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi.
Bulk supply for the area is fed from the University Road Grid (132kV) grid station.
Load profile: Dense low-rise apartments with shared transformer loading. Common cause of brownouts here is overloaded distribution transformer (DT), not feeder trip — KE upgrades a DT only on written request from a building society.

Outage in Gulshan-Iqbal? Before calling 118, check whether the trip is on your premises (mains MCB), the building (transformer) or the feeder. Reporting the feeder name from the list above lets KE dispatch the right team faster than a generic "no light" complaint.
Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi — frequently asked
Why does my Gulshan Block 13 flat trip every Iftar in Ramazan?+
Aggregate Iftar cooking load on a shared DT can exceed its rated kVA. The fix is a DT augmentation request through your housing society to IBC Gulshan — KE will not upgrade on individual complaints.
Where is the Gulshan IBC and is parking available?+
IBC Gulshan is on Main University Road, Block 7, opposite the old NIPA bridge. Limited street parking; arrive before 11 AM on weekdays to avoid queues.
My Hassan Square shop got a multi-unit slab bill — why?+
Commercial connections on the A-2 tariff don't enjoy residential slab benefits. Every unit is billed at the single non-slab commercial rate, plus 5% load-factor surcharge if your peak demand exceeds 80% of sanctioned kW.
Can I report a Gulshan-10A feeder trip via SMS?+
Yes. SMS the word "PowerOff" with your 13-digit account number to 8119. KE auto-maps your account to the feeder so you don't need to name it.
How do I check if my Gulshan area is load-shed?+
Visit our load-shedding guide and enter your area or feeder — Gulshan blocks fall in mixed loss categories: Blocks 1–6 are mostly exempt, Blocks 7–13 see 2–4 hour rotational cuts during summer peaks.
Editorial note: feeder names and IBC boundaries change periodically. Confirm with helpline 118 for current dispatch.
